Isn't it now time, the rest of this macabre tourist attraction, was now bulldozed?

Kromo....you are only going to accept what you want to believe that I meant.


////I'm afraid I'm lost for words.////
////I'm having a hard time believing you said what I think you said.////

Those two remarks come up a lot in your posts.......................if I remember correctly.

@Sqad - Are you really suggesting that we should do nothing, make no attempt to educate and create symbols regarding mans inhumanity to man, because "its always happened"? What kind of argument is that for anything?

You also seem to be suggesting that the only value that a symbol such as Auschwitz has is to the Jews, and that only the Jewish would raise an outcry if it were bulldozed? has your cynicism so leached your humanity that you cannot see the error of that argument?

[Kromovaracun]

That's because quite often, I DO struggle to believe that people on this site actually think what they write. It's not because I'm looking for meaning, I just prefer to think I've got it wrong. The reason I ask is because I prefer to be corrected if I am.

[Sqad]

Lazygun...LOL...........You and Kromo are the one's doing the "suggesting" I am just offering an opinion.

Ankou....never, but have been to other historical momuments which I have been overwhelmed with emotion, so i can imagine the aura in Auschwitz.

Let's get down to the crux of this shall we....am I anti Semetic?.....Yes, borne out of personal experiences.

(ahmskunnirt, are you the poster who was para/dancairo?)

ahmskunnirt

You suddenly reminded me of Para. People are always changing their names and I am the last to know. I was unaware they were hounded out of AB, such a shame people give up too easily.

I've been there and you can not help be moved by what you witness, I think it should be in the school curriculum that 14-16 olds go and visit

Sqad, I see your admission of being anti-Semitic has been pulled, but can you please clarify re my previous question? thank you.

[Sqad]

sara...yes, it does.

[sara3]

then you may hate me openly as my parents were Jewish. knock yourself out. you never fail to amaze me with your disrespect. I was disappointed when you said "*** TO SARA" but you're even lower than I thought.

how sad for you.. but it explains plenty.

[anotheoldgit]

Grow up Gromit, if you haven't got anything constructive to contribute, don't bother.

[Sqad]

sara...nonsense, you have hated my guts for a long time....

????but you're even lower than I thought////

I guess I will just have to live with it.

I thought that AB was all about opinions...........clearly not.

[sara3]

generally, racist and anti-Semitic views are frowned upon. I don't see anyone else showing much interest though which is strange. you say you hate Jews without anyone finding that offensive. what other races and religions do you hate? hopefully someone at AB may see this as unacceptable.

"hate your guts"? that would really be a childish attitude, I'm not 5 years old. but how sad that you hold such hatred in your heart,. you have my pity.

That is precisely what it is for some.

I would wager, a very large percentage of tourists to southern Poland, must visit out of morbid interest.

If it was torn down and a proper memorial built such as the WW1 Menin Gate Memorial (Ypres); or the National Memorial Arboretum in Staffordshire, I wonder then how many 'tourist' would then bother to visit?

No need for the implements of mass extermination to go on show, to remind people of man's inhumanity to man.

Perhaps we should wheel out the block and axe onto Tower green, or the gallows at Tyburn, or perhaps the rack even, plenty of tourist attraction in these.

[sara3]

oh dear, it starred out the word "B0LLOCK5"

strange.. it didn't do that when you said it to me.
